Andy Coulson - why would anyone trust such a person?

[alcatraz]

So Andy Coulson is an arrogant, untrustworthy bully, is this the sort of person who should be in charge of communicating to the electorate?

Labour have had similar people in the same sort of job.

What hope for British politics?

I think he is fascinating in a ghastly sort of way. Here is something I wrote after seeing his appearance in front of the Press standards committee.

a glimpse into a parallel universe. The press standards committee meets the news of the world.

I don't think Campbell was any better, in fact, I think he plumbed the depths quite frequently.

Someone from the Conservative party just called round and I asked whether Coulson has been forced to resign, the young Cons claimed he knew no such person, nor his misdemeanors nor his status in the party! Hilarious.....he said he would ask but I won't hold my breath.

And I know Labour are as bad. I'm going to think up some awful questions for them too, as they will all be calling soon!
